Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like the English word "guf" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHN" (as in "art") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Goofing around, clowning, or messing about without being serious in Puerto Rico. Gufeando comes straight from the English "goofing" and captures that playful, zero-stakes energy of joking around with friends. Nothing productive is happening, and that is entirely the point.

Examples

Relax, I was just goofing around, I did not mean it seriously.

We spent the whole afternoon clowning with our cousins without doing a thing.

Regional synonyms

A person or thing of low class, low quality, or no real distinction. In Mexico and Argentina, "de medio pelo" describes anything that fails to meet even the minimum standard of quality or refinement, whether a venue, an event, or a person who just does not measure up.
